    cw18 - watch it online :) I watch it on a Thursday evening via my ps3 (came free witha phone contract a couple of years ago) as i also have no tv licence :) - I have been tv licence free for nearly a year now wahooooo what a saving :)
    I don't find it easy to watch things on my laptop - screens not big enough to have it far enough away from me for my eyes (I'm far sighted), and the sound on it's pretty naff too :(

    Tried hooking my laptop up to my TV so I can use it as a monitor, but it won't run for more than a few seconds at a time - and I can't get the sound to send over at all, even though I have the cables I was told I'd need !!!

    I wrote your name on a piece of paper, but by accident I threw it away.
    I wrote your name on my hand, but it washed away.
    I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves whispered it away.
    I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.
